“There is a line in my work, which always traces back to the 'whereabouts' of our existence. Dances of the Australian Aboriginals, or rhythms, rituals, masks of African people - the point of my interest is the same it is the traces old civilizations have left. Artifacts, materials, and traditions speak by themselves, show the way back into a living past. The attempt is to journey into their world to discover our world - by trying to read the controversial messages of the conscious and unconscious, the visible and hidden, to uncover those above and those under the ground.
'Whereabouts Unknown' originates from this curiosity, which - as fundamental as it is - can only reveal glimpses of the vast and complex layers of life.” – Jiří Kylián
